Rebecca Welch is set to be the first ever woman referee to be involved in a Premier League game this weekend.
Welch, 39, will be the fourth official for Fulham's clash against Man United at Craven Cottage on Saturday lunchtime.
She has had a fast rise up the officiating ladder over the past year, with Welch taking charge of Birmingham City vs Preston North End in January, becoming the first female official to referee a Championship game in the process.
After beginning refereeing in 2010, Welch combined it with her work in the NHS in an admin role until 2019 when she decided to go full-time.
